UnicodeEncodeError from schrödinger library

[maurobedoya]

If the working directory contains a special character, such as an accent (´) the following error will occur:

[1/1] Failed ifd/proteinx/ligandx with output:
      Traceback (most recent call last):

      UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xed' in position 96: ordinal not in range(128)
WARNING: Some commands have failed. Please check the output.

The error also occurs with older versions of schrödinger.

One possible implementation/enhancement is to add a check for the working directory path to warn about special characters found.
